On October 26 and 27, English teachers will have the opportunity to learn about new strategies for teaching English at the seventh version of the international seminar "Expanding Opportunities", which will be held virtually on both days.
The event organized by Fundación Educacional Oportunidad will feature Mónica Rodríguez (Argentina) who will address the role of the emotional function in effective learning experiences in her presentation "Emotional Regulation in the English Classroom: Inspiring Our Students (and Ourselves!) to Achieve Better Academic and Life Results in Our Classes".
In addition, Yasna Yilorm (Chile) will present "Inclusive Education for Social Justice in the EFL Classroom: Development of Socio-Affective and Communicative Skills in Socially Vulnerable Children", where she will address the contribution of games, theatrical techniques and cultural experiences to provide communicative resources at the cognitive, affective and social levels of children.
Paz Collao, head of the We Learn program at Fundación Educacional Oportunidad, said about the event that "in our current scenario, teaching English can make a great contribution to important issues such as inclusion and emotional regulation of students. The presentations at this seminar will provide teachers from all over the country with tools to address these issues in their classrooms, in addition to generating interesting conversations about pedagogical experiences throughout Chile".
BEST PRACTICES
In addition to the main presentations, "Expanding Opportunities" will once again include an important space for four English teachers to share their successful experiences through posters and a discussion on each day:
- Raúl Rodríguez: "Just Keep Talking! Promoting Self-Efficacy through Community Language Learning in Online English Classes".
- Jessica Urra: "Let's Have Fun at Home! The Use of Gamification Elements When Learning English".
- Juan Guevara: "Surviving Chilean Slang. A Project-Based Learning Activity to Promote Students' Motivation and Oracy by Creating a Chilean - English Pocket Dictionary.
- Natalia Salas: "Recyplay". Learn and Play!
